From tasty snacks to mouthwatering entrees to delicious desserts, each recipe is packed with big, bold flavors—and all under 400 calories! But maybe—if you feel like splurging—you'd like to change it up a little? Add a different protein? A side dish or two? In this innovative, full-color cookbook, the girls from the award-winning website Our Best Bites have provided a variety of add-on options that puts you in control of your meals and your calories.

My review: K, I don't know about you, but I think that the picture on the front of this book is beautiful! I love Our Best Bites, I get tons of recipes from there and I've been part of their Fit Club they've done this year. I've lost over 12 pounds in the last 12 weeks. I was so excited to get my hands on this book, I love it! I love that every recipe has a picture and they are all beautiful. I love that every recipe has the nutrition information right there, it's so convenient. I have made tons of recipes out of this book, and I have enjoyed them all, and the best part is that our kids have enjoyed them too! There is a recipe in here for breakfast pizzas that you make on an English muffin, I made them one time and our kids have asked to have them again several times. I also made the pizza that's on the front cover, it doesn't have any meat in it, it's all veggies on the top, and my husband didn't even notice.

I love that this book teaches you to use ingredients that are just a little bit different from what you may be used to using to get delicious food that isn't going to have tons of calories and fat, and will be healthier for you and your family.

About the authors: Sara Wells was born and raised in the Seattle area. Inspired by the lush green surroundings of the Pacific Northwest, she earned a degree in horticulture from Brigham Young University and put her talents to work as a landscape designer. Her knack for design, as well as a lifetime passion for culinary exploration and entertaining on the spur-of-the-moment, resulted in catering opportunities, which allowed Sara to showcase her belief that food can taste great and be beautiful as well.

Sara served an LDS mission in Curitiba, Brazil, where she picked up a love of fresh ingredients and a taste for Latin flavor that influences much of her cooking today. She and her husband, Eric, currently reside in Boise, Idaho, where they cook, eat, laugh, and play with their three young sons, Tyler, Owen, and Jack.

Kate Randle Jones was born and raised in Logan, Utah, where she dabbled in cooking, but never seriously. After her sophmore year at Brigham Young University, she married Sam Jones, and they suddenly found themselves to the the stereotypical broke college student couple. Due to the fact that they needed to eat and she needed a hobby, Kate began cooking and baking nearly everything from scratch. Once she got comfortable in the kitchen, she started experimenting with different tastes, recipes, and methods.

She graduated from BYU in 2004 with a degree in English and considers herself beyond lucky that she gets to do her two favorite things: write and cook. In her spare time, she loves to read, entertain, and travel (or, at the very least, think about traveling!). She currently lives in an old house with a big yard in Louisiana with her husband, Sam, and her three children.
